Pulsemeeter is a Linux audio routing and mixer application that provides a graphical front end for PulseAudio’s routing capabilities and PipeWire setups.
It takes inspiration from Voicemeeter’s workflow, helping users create virtual audio devices, route audio between input and output devices, and manage mixer-style controls from one interface.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Create virtual inputs and outputs for flexible audio routing.
- Route audio from input devices to hardware or virtual output devices.
- Control volume and mute settings.
- Configure channel layouts for virtual devices including mono and stereo.
- Select active ports on hardware devices.
- Define custom port-to-port connection mappings.
